Creative Director Alex Grossman said it made sense to finally put
an iPhone pic out front with the May travel issue, particularly
given the connection between photography and travel. The cover was
shot on an iPhone 7 Plus, in the Tlacolula Market of Oaxaca,
Mexico, and it combines people and food, with a woman showing off
a strawberry Paleta.

(Also worth noting: Apple is a Bon Appétit advertiser. In fact, an
ad on the back cover will highlight the fact that the cover photo
was taken on an iPhone.)
